I have a $1,200 budget. I don't want to overclock. I'm new to doing this and haven't built a PC before. I keep finding bad reviews for every part I would like. I don't know what power supply and monitor to get.

CPU

Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor $198.88 Buy Motherboard

MSI B150 Gaming M3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $103.48 Buy Memory

Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $45.98 Buy Storage

Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $157.30 Buy Video Card

EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB SC GAMING Video Card $259.99 Buy Case

Fractal Design Define R5 Blackout Edition ATX Mid Tower Case $89.99 Buy Operating System

Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit $84.88 Buy Total: $940.50

Everything seems great. Even though you aren't going to overclock I'd buy a cooler since the
stock one can get loud usually. Ill have a link for two of them below-

<<Deepcool Liquid Cooler

Personally I'd switch out the GTX 1060 for a RX 480 since it has more Vram , supports crossfire for down the road upgrades and performs better . Todays games the cards are head to head on DX 11 give or take 3% difference. But now games are coming out with Vulcan which the RX 480 supports, It makes the RX 480 a no brainer choice over the GTX 1060.

That's just using DX 12 . Using Vulcan blows the GTX 1060 out of the ball park.
